Org Tips logo

ORG TIP$ encourages student leaders to be more informed on the issues of diversity and inclusion, sexual assault prevention, and mental health and wellness by participating in trainings offered through various programs and departments on campus. Upon the completion of various programs, student organizations will be awarded $75, $100, & $125 depending on the tier of completion.

Purpose

Student leaders contribute to the culture of student life at the University of Iowa. They make decisions that define student priorities, help determine institutional values, and serve as role models for thousands of their peers. If well-trained, student leaders can be a resource for improving campus culture and climate. The goal of ORG TIP$ is to increase the number of student leaders who are trained in skills that promote the well-being of the student body. Diversity and inclusion, sexual assault prevention and education, and mental health and wellness have been identified as priority issues to address through this program.

For satisfactory participation in a Tier, student organizations with more than 30 members must have at least 5 students participate in a training category. Student organizations with less than 30 members must have at least 3 students participate in a training category. The membership of a student organization will be assessed according to their Engage records. We strongly recommend for student organizations to have their Engage accounts updated. Students do not need to be a member of the Student Organization for the training to count but they may not participate in a training category on behalf of more than one organization.

The student organization that completes the most trainings will also receive a Hawkeye Award.

How to Complete Each Tier:

The 3 categories are Diversity and Inclusion, Sexual Assault Prevention, and Mental Health and Wellness.

  • Tier 1: Complete 1 training in any category. $75 will be deposited into your organization's '00 account.
  • Tier 2: Complete 1 more training in a category different than your first training. If the 1st training is in repetitive categories, you can do the 2nd training in any category. $100 will be deposited into your organization's '00 account.
  • Tier 3: Complete 1 final training in the category you haven't yet completed. $125 will be deposited into your organization's '00 account.
